Abstract

The present invention involves the use of improved drag reduction agents for aqueous solutions which comprises a polymeric complex which is a terpolymer of acrylamide/ metal-or-amine -styrene sulfonate/methacrylamidopropy-Itrimethyl ammonium chloride. (MAPTAC).
The metal stryene sulfonate is an anionic monomer, while MAPTAC is cationically charged. These acrylamide- based polyampholytes have approximately 1 to 50 mole % of the cationic moiety present within the macromolecular structure. These groups are not necessarily present in an equimolar charge ratio. The excess undissociated charge allows for facile dispensability or solubility of the polyampholytes into fresh water.

  • . These monomers possess the appropriate water solubility for polymerization to take place.
  • The terpolymers used in the method of this invention are preferably water-soluble and may be derived from water-soluble nonionic,anionic and catonic monomers. The terpolymers may possess a nonstoichiometric amount of anionic and cationic groups.
  • The following examples illustrate the present invention, without; however, limiting the same hereto.
    • EXAMPLE 1
  • Into a 1-liter, 4-neck flask were added:
    • 15.35 g methacrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium chloride (MAPTAC) (50% solution)
    • 40.0g acrylamide
    • 7.16g sodium styrene sulfonate
    • 300 ml. distilled water
  • We should emphasize at this time that the anionic and cationic monomers were added to the aqueous phase without attempting to form ion-pair comonomers that do not possess nonpolymerizable counterions. Activated charcoal was added to the MAPTAC monomer solution at a 2 wt. % level, stirred vigorously for 24 hours and filtered through standard filter paper. This solution was used in the subsequent polymerization mixture.
  • The pH of the solution was adjusted to 4.5 to 5.0 with 20% phosphonic acid solution. The solution was purged with nitrogen gas for 1 hour to remove dissolved oxygen. As the nitrogen gas purging began, the solution was heated to 50°C. At this point, 0.05g potassium persulfate was added to the solution. After 4 hours, the polymer was precipitated from solution with acetone. Subsequently, the resulting polymer was washed several times with a large excess of acetone and dried in a vacuum oven at 60°C for 24 hours.
  • Elemental analysis shows that this polyampholyte or intramolecular complex contains 89.6 mole % acrylamide, 1.6 mole % sodium styrene sulfonate and 8.8 mole % methacrylamidopropyltrimethylammoniumstyrene sulfonate complex.
    • EXAMPLE 2
  • A 1% solution of the polyampholyte (described in Example 1) was formed in distilled water and in a 1.7M (molar) sodium chloride solution. The viscosity, as measured via a Brookfield viscometer, was 11.4 cps in the distilled water system, while the viscosity increased to 34.1 cps with the addition of the salt.
  • This example shows that the polyampholyte can be used to effectively thicken both distilled water and high ionic strength aqueous solutions. Moreover, the marked increase in viscosity in the latter solution confirms that solubilization of the polymer is more complete. These solution characteristics are reflected in our drag reduction experiments, i.e., Example 3.
    • EXAMPLE 3
  • Drag reduction was evaluated by flowing aqueous polymer solutions through a 2.13 mm inside diameter stainless steel tube and measuring the resulting frictional pressure drop. All solutions in this example contained 100 ppm (by weight) of the polyampholyte described previously. The solvent was distilled water containing various amounts of NaCl. Flows were generated by loading a pair of stainless steel tanks (1 1. each) with a previously dissolved aqueous polymer solution, pressurizing the tanks with nitrogen gas (300 kPa), and discharging the solution through the tube test section. Pressure drops were measured across a 48 cm straight segment of the tube with a pair of tube wall pressure taps and a differential pressure transmitter. Flow rates were measured by weighing samples of the effluent liquid collected over measured time periods.
  • Flow rates in the drag reduction experiments ranged from about 10 to 24 g/s; these corresponded to solvent Reynolds numbers from about 6,500 to 16,000 (solvent Reynolds number = mean flow velocity x tube diameter solvent kinematic viscosity). Drag reduction was measured by comparing pressure drops of the polymer/xylene solutions with pressure drops of the xylene solvent at equal flow rates. Results were expressed as percent drag reduction which is defined as follows:
    Figure imgb0002
  • Typical drag reduction results from experiments with the polyampholyte solutions are given in Table I. Additional data relating measured pressure drops to solvent Reynolds numbers are given in Figure 1.
    Figure imgb0003
  • The data indicate that significant drag reduction was observed for all solutions and that drag reduction effectiveness improved with increasing salt concentrations.
  • Moreover, our data show. that these polymeric materials are effective drag reducers in fresh water.
  • The high molecular weight polymeric materials used in this study appear to be useful as a particular example of a general phenomena. That is, the presence of monomeric units comprising the broad class of water soluble anionic and cationic moieties within the polymer chain are the necessary requirements for drag reduction in acid, base or salt solutions. A stoichiometric amount of these oppositely charged units is not a requirement for effective drag reduction of these latter solutions. In addition, the acrylamide monomer units present within the terpolymer structure is only one example of many available water soluble or water dispersible monomer structures.
